I Really want derke to stay, imo he's the dream duelist Player, someone who's willing to learn new agents , can be a full proper entry play style but isn't boxed in by it, can OP very well and has been keeping up this consistency for ages, it will be a massive blow for fnatic if he leaves, but well it's been 4 yrs and derke may want a change of pace so there's nothing they can do abt that ig
As for replacements
The obvious one is Kaajak, he's the Player who imo fits derke's profile the best while maybe bringing even more firepower,but that relies on apeks not qualifying (if they don't, well ......) or willing to let him go, which ain't happening
Izzy may be another option i haven't seen him play since Berlin tbh but his stats and profile seem similar to derke and it would be a great fit that way, if he ever gets off SMB that is
Or maybe they keep hiro and move alfa to duelist, that could work ig but his op is no where near as good as derke's, his razer is better in many ways tho
